  1. you can push the tips through into the carb. this will obviously widen the hole, so you may find that you only need to take 1 full turn from bottom when tuning the pilot system. this happened to both carbs and one of those carbs twice!! (that's another story) so all is not lost drewps
  2. had a cracking day at barnsley today, and even better, got a very red suntan I got told off by the track marshalls for running too wide whilst dicing with an rd400 (I beat him in the end though. and he wouldn't talk to me afterwards) i was only using the kerb as it had a nice camber to drive on!!! this won the best '70's, and its a beaut!!
  3. put a front end picture of OG's bike in the mirrors, then you will think you are faster than him!!!
  4. no kits as such, but it can be overbored to 440cc using Yoshimura pistons with 73 mm bore. Head, shortened valve stems, new valves (inlet 36 mm, exhaust 30 mm)
  5. From Bristol Evening Post: Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach. On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?" Foot note: Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...! Total sum just short £2.9 mill !!
